IIT-Madras faculty develop AI models to process text in 11 Indian regional languages

Faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M) have developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and datasets to process texts in 11 Indian languages, the premier institute said on Tuesday.

The initiative was taken up jointly with “AI4Bharat,” a platform for building AI solutions for problems of relevance to the country, a release from IIT-M said here.

The open source tool, completely free of cost, can be downloaded from https://indicnlp.ai4bharat.org/ “The multilingual AI models and datasets developed through this initiative will provide the essential building blocks to students, faculty, start-ups and industry to work on Indian language tools and push the frontiers of technology,” it said.
